New housing board chair urges gov't to tap in to local authorities' experience
Government needs to be listening to local authorities on housing issues rather than ignoring them.
That's the view of the newly-appointed chair of the Housing and Communities Board David Ashford.
Tynwald is due to consider proposals to form a housing association this month, with the Department of Infrastructure seeking views from the local authorities.
Mr Ashford says there's a lot to be learnt from the local government boards:
Milan Vets extends farm services following feedback from clients
This evening's sailing cancelled
Thief who stole almost £1m from elderly man refused privy council hearing
Calls for more education on diabetes in Isle of Man schools
Farmers 'need to come together and find a solution' over withdrawal of veterinary services
